test driving CS5's HDR Pro feature

[rosserx]

I grabbed a trial version of PS CS5 to play with, it is packed with some amazing features. For now I was messing with HDR Pro... WOW is all I can say!

The image was taken at Highpoint State Park, NJ and the monument off to the right marks the exact highest point in NJ.

I've taken that exact shot! I think the greens could be a little lighter.

Did you go to the top of the monument? The staircase is really wild. If you did not search my photo stream on flickr for "Highpoint".

We were there last week and the monument wasn't open yet. I think it opens after Memorial Day. But 2 summers ago we did climb those steps.
